The 1992 League Cup finale will be remembered for two things from a Manchester United perspective.
First, it marked the first triumph of the club in competition when the Red Devils Nottingham Forest anchored 1-0 in the Old Wembley Stadium. Second – and maybe just as much – there was the world The Pre-Match jacket, a technicolor timing capsule of football fashion from the early 90s.
While the match itself cannot be repeated, the jacket can be lived in – and Manchester United, next to Adidas, does exactly that and restores it in its entire retro teach for a new generation of fans and fashion friends.
The design is pure vintage: a black base with living turquoise sleeves and a bold abstract pattern in black, white and green above the lower half. It is read with a classic adidas -text -logo and a special coat of arms: “League Cup Finale, Wembley 1992.”
Adidas will publish the legendary final jacket from Manchester United in 1992. It is expected that the original design is an exact 1-to-1 recreation and will be released in the first half of 2026. [@Footy_Headlines] #Mufc pic.twitter.com/jb2famahp1
